A consortium led by Charlie Methven is keen to invest in Oxford United.
Methven has significant ties to the club, as trustee of the youth and community sports trust, while he has also been working in an advisory role for the U’s board and last year played a key role in setting up supporters’ group the Yellow Army.
The talks are described as ‘very recent and very preliminary’, concerning their desire to invest in the U’s and how OxVox would be involved in the future.
It is understood there are two competing groups of investors, with Mark Ashton, a former chief executive of Watford and Wycombe Wanderers, linked to the other consortium.
The club have not made a comment on the uncertainty, with OxVox chairman Mark Sennett telling the Oxford Mail it was time for U’s chairman Ian Lenagan to clarify the situation.
